We all know that breast milk is best for babies. There are cases, however, where mothers could not breastfeed their infants, such as when the mother is sick and takes medications that may be harmful to her newborn. That’s when mothers resort to formula feeding. However, we should be wise in choosing what infant formula to give our babies. It should not only be nutritionally complete, but it should also be budget-friendly.

Did you know that store-brand formulas are as nutritionally equivalent to name-brand formulas? Parents can also save up to 50% when they buy store brand formula. Take Parent’s Choice, for example. This infant formula meets the nutritional guidelines set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Parents can also save up to $600.00 when they buy Parent’s Choice.

This is good news for many mothers out there because the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is now reallocating funds for all currently provided foods, which includes infant formula. This could spell a 20-percent reduction in infant formula subsidies, which means parents will now have to shoulder the cost of infant formula, which had been previously paid for by WIC. This is the reason why WIC encourages breastfeeding now more than ever.

You’ll be glad to know that Parent’s Choice is currently on sale at Walmart. You can buy two cans for just $10.00. Parent’s Choice Milk Infant Formula 15.5 oz and Parent’s Choice Gentle Infant Formula 12.9 oz are now selling for $5.00 each. You need to hurry, though, because this offer is good for a limited time only.

1 pensive thought/s:

This change in the WIC allowance for infant formula is going to affect so many parents. I'm one of the moms that could not breastfeed my twins because of a surgery I had 5 yrs prior... Formula is expensive, and I didn't get WIC... so that was a huge cost for us.. After much research we decided to switch to a store brand infant formula.
We used Parent’s Choice over the National name brands and saved around $1200 in the year that we formula fed our twin girls. We saved a lot of money on formula and were able to get other things we needed for them.
Many people are scared to try the store brand infant formulas because they fear that they aren’t as “good” as the national name brands… But they are!
The FDA has such strict regulations and guidelines on infant formula that there is no room to skimp on nutrition. Store brand infant formulas are nutritionally equal to the name brands, they just cost about 1/2 the price.
If anyone else is thinking of switching from a Name Brand to a Store Brand infant formula, check out the Parent’s Choice Savings Calculator You’d be surprised how much $$ you can save. http://parentschoiceformula.com/baby-formula-savings-calculator.aspx
